Patient's question:
Last year, I was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids, but I haven't gone to the hospital for treatment yet. This year, I plan to start trying to get pregnant. The doctor said that the fibroids might affect fertility. So, how should uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can affect women's reproductive health, but it doesn't mean that having fibroids will definitely lead to infertility. Whether uterine fibroids interfere with pregnancy health depends on the nature of the fibroids, their location, and their size. For your situation, I recommend first going to the hospital for a thorough examination to see how large the fibroids are, and then creating a screening plan based on the actual circumstances. It is advisable to rest actively, pay attention to avoiding excessive cold and irritating foods, and consider the possibility of undergoing a follow-up ultrasound if necessary. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good hygiene in the affected area. If the growth is significant, it may be necessary to consider surgical options.
